This May, Toronto’s Entertainment District comes alive with five standout events you won’t want to miss. Start the month at the Tea & Co. Expo (May 3–4) at Waterworks Food Hall, featuring cherry blossom décor, tea tastings, and the upbeat Morning Disco (Coffee Party) experience. OCAD U GradEx 110 showcases the next generation of creative talent with works from over 600 graduating students. Mother’s Day in downtown Toronto offers inclusive ways to celebrate—whether honouring a loved one or embracing chosen family. The Inside Out Film Festival returns with a powerful lineup of 2SLGBTQ+ cinema and programming. And during Doors Open Toronto, explore hidden gems like the shops & galleries at 401 Richmond, a creative hub with open studios, exhibitions, and more.
